Climate change is expected heavily impact natural and human systems worldwide (Walther, G.-R. et al., 2002; IPCC 2007, 2013; Kang, Y, S. Khan 2009; Hoegh-Guldberg, O. 2010)
The IPCC reports numerous negative impacts of climate change on domesticated crops regardless of the emission scenario implemented(Brown and Funk 2008; Ureta et al. 2012; IPCC 2013)
Ensuring global food security in an increasingly warming world with exponentially increasing world population requires multidisciplinary research (Brown and Funk 2008; Ureta et al. 2012; IPCC 2013, 2015)
Maize (Zea mays subsp. mays L.) supplies a staple food crop for more than 200 million people worldwide (Nuss and Tanumihardjo 2010; Ureta et al. 2013)
Climate change is expected to alter maize suitability, especially between the tropics (Ramirez-Cabral et al., 2017)
Mexico, maize's C.O.D., harbors traditional maize landraces that account for 60% of maize genetic diversity globally (Ureta et al. 2013)
Preservation of agrobiodiversity at centers of domestication critical for global food security (Thrupp 2000; Esquinas-Alcazar 2005; Ureta et al. 2013).
